What is a high level of Prednisone? Smokey is 4-5 years old and was diagnos=
ied one month ago. He is on 1mg. twice daily. He seems to be fading fast. A=
lthought his eyes are still bright, he is sleeping most of the time. Two of=
the lymph glands HAVE decreased in size but he also has run into difficuli=
ty breathing. The vet described a medialstial mass that "leaks fluid into h=
is chest." The 1st time the chest was tapped, she got 40mls. from the chest=
and 60mls. the 2nd time.. He will eat Duck Soup from a spoon (about 5-10ml=
s. every 2-3 hrs.). =
I'm heart broken and don't know what else I can do for him. If there is not=
hing else, I know it will soon be time to release him from this terrible di=
sease. I only want to do what is best for my Smokey. Olivia
